Description

An Outdoor Living Area serves as natural gathering place that draws people together.

More and more homeowners are beginning to create"outdoor living areas" in their backyards. While pools were once the focal point and often still are, outdoor living areas are increasing in popularity. The weather in the north Texas area, especially in the spring & fall, is very conducive to being outdoors. Whether it is a large gathering of friends or a relaxing evening with the family, outdoor living areas seem to serve as a natural gathering area that draws people together.

If you are considering an outdoor living area, it is important that you do some thoughtful planning prior to coming up with a final design. Proper planning will save you from regret once the project is complete.

Planning for an Outdoor Living Area

A well-designed outdoor living area should meet the needs of the homeowner. The possibilities are endless and sometimes overwhelming. Following are some considerations that might be helpful in planning an outdoor living area.

Placement in yard

  1. Is there an area that works best? Many parties are indoor/outdoor gatherings—so typically outdoor living areas are relatively close to the house.
  2. Will the area be shaded or will a shade structure be needed? With the summers that we experience, shade is an important factor to consider, as is wind direction.
  3. Does an area of the yard have a better view or provide better privacy from neighbors than other areas?

Theme/style

  1. Do you have a theme or style that you have seen that you like? It might be a good idea to go online or look at magazines that include outdoor living areas. Incorporate some of these ideas in your outdoor living area.
  2. What is the architectural style of your home and landscaping? It is important that the style of your outdoor living area is consistent with the architectural style of your home.
  3. What types of material do you prefer for the structures—stone, travertine, tile, brick?
  4. What type of flooring do you prefer for the flooring—plain concrete, acid stained concrete, patterned concrete, travertine, brick, stone?

Entertaining needs

  1. How many people do you typically entertain outdoors? What is the smallest group (such as family only)
    and the largest group? Perhaps your outdoor living area can have a smaller area for the small group and an overflow area for the largest group.
  2. How many people need to be able to sit at any one time?
  3. What features will you need—fireplace, firepit, bar, shade structure, etc.?
  4. What kind of furniture do you see in your outdoor living area? And more importantly, how much space
    will the furniture require?
